‘The Bee Gees Night Fever’ to take Joburg audiences back in time

A time warp of ’70s disco dancefloor thrillers and timeless heartfelt rock ballads are coming to Johannesburg early next year in the world-renowned tribute concert experience: The Bee Gees Night Fever.

Brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb began the band The Bee Gees in the ’60s as Australia’s answer to The Beatles and in the ’70s were the inspiration behind the global passion for disco-driven music.

Today no party is complete without them and no night out on the town can end without hearing at least one of their harmony-laden tracks.

Their music is timeless and fans around the world crave the opportunity to hear their songs performed live.

This show, which runs from January 19 until February 9 next year at Theatre of Marcellus at Emperors Palace, recreates the Bee Gee’s 1997 One Night Only Las Vegas concert experience in a theatre-style production.

Three highly talented international musicians join forces to present Night Fever, a celebration of one of the most successful musical stories.

Australia’s Zachary Coombs will take on the role of the king of falsetto – Barry Gibb – emulating the eldest brother’s unique singing style.

The professional singer/guitarist originally from Sydney has been in the industry since 2001, playing in clubs, hotels, theatres and cruise liners from the age of 16.

The iconic blue-tinted spectacles went to South African Warren Van Driscoll, who was cast as Robin Gibb.

Focusing on the melody, arrangements, and providing strong backing vocal harmonies will be musician Andre Behnke portraying Maurice Gibb.

The Bee Gee’s greatest hits will be performed live on stage by a handpicked international cast complemented by vibrant state-of-the-art lighting and digital display screens.

With disco tracks like Night Fever, Stayin’ Alive, You Should Be Dancin’ and ballads like How Deep Is Your Love, I Started a Joke and Tragedy, the magic of The Bee Gees Night Fever is not to be missed!

Tickets for this spectacular show can be purchased via Computicket or via Checkers and Shoprite retail stores countrywide, and are priced between R180 to R250 each.
